The Wallis Presents the Yonatan Esterkin Production of
THE JEWISH DOG
A One-Man Theatrical Performance
Nov 9, 2023 - Nov 19, 2023
The Jewish Dog offers a view of the Holocaust, the darkest period of modern Jewish history, through the eyes of a canine unusually fascinated by human affairs. When events separate Cyrus from his Jewish owners, he is adopted by a Nazi family and employed by the SS as a military dog, witnessing firsthand the rise of Nazism. Directed by award-winning Israeli artist Yonatan Esterkin, based on the novel by Asher Kravitz, and featuring Roy Abramsohn as the beloved dog, this performance explores loyalty, identity, and the fine line that separates humanity from animals.
Recommended for adults and children ages 10+.
